Grilled Steaks with Blue Cheese and Chiles

Dana Talusani of Longmont, Colorado, writes: "As the mother of two, I don't get to spend as much time in the kitchen as I would like. That said, it's still important for our family to sit down and enjoy a meal together at the end of the day. This is one of my favorite recipes — it's great for a last-minute dinner."

The classic combination of blue cheese and steak is updated with a kick of jalapeño chiles.

Ok so I cut this recipe out years
ago and finally made it tonight. It
was amazing! Unfortunately, I was
out of white wine vinegar and only
had jarred jalapenos! But I used
red wine vinegar and the marinade
and sauce were amazing. My husband,
son and I just loved this and for
sure I will make for company in the
near future! I also made the Rosemary Garlic roasted potatoes on the site which really went great with this.

I only made the blue cheese topping part of this recipe, and it was very good on top of our beef tenderloin steaks. I followed the recipe as written. I did use a very good quatlity white wine vinegar because I had it (not sure if that made a difference or not). I made it several hours before dinner, but took it out in time for it to reach room temperature which is how it needs to be served. Guests loved it.

Didn't use the marinade but tried out the blue cheese sauce. Super easy to make and full of flavor. We loved that the blue cheese didn't overpower and the jalapenos offered just enough kick. Will definitely make again! www.adventuroustastes.com

I LOVE this recipe!! I typically like to have simply steak, or steak with a red wine reduction sauce but, this topping is a wonderful treat! I wouldn't make this everytime I want steak but, it is very good and I didn't change a thing. Be sure to select fresh, crisp chiles.

I must say, I was really looking forward to this recipe, but it turned out below my expectations. One of my all-time favorites is Steak with Shallot-Gorgonzola butter (search for it) and I thought this would be a similarly good recipe. Not so. I found the sauce rather underwhelming, with all the flavors poking out individually instead of mixing.

I made this for dinner this weekend and it received raves. Previous reviews were helpful for some good ideas. As a result, I used red AND green jalapenos for great color and added honey beer to the steak marinade. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly with outstanding results. This will be a repeat dish in our house!

For an outdoor concert picnic - made recipe exact, then thinly sliced the steaks and served on ciabatta rolls with a hefty smear of the cheese. Added carmelized onion, mushroom and sun dried tomato mixture - and WOW - this was awesome. Received rave reviews and will definitely make again.

Made this for Father's Day - a perfect result. Not only was the topping tasty and out-of-the-ordinary, but the shallots and chiles also added a little crunch to every bite. Very delicious - with such little effort to make an ordinary steak into something spectacular!

I made it for my family and they all loved it. The sauce was amazing and easy to make. I baked the tenderloins at 400 and they were perfectly cooked. I served it with au-grautin potoatoes and corn. It was a great lake dinner.

Outstanding! A classic with a Chile twist. The first time I cooked thesteaks, I followed the recipe the as it was written. A little soicy for my taste so I haved the chile and it was perfect the second time around.
